Exodus 20:4 People playing with beads and bowing down to a statue Mary. Do they have Exodus 20:4 in their Bibles or are they just listening to man? Deu 30:17.

Why people do things who knows. For some people they are bowing down to images and idols and don't even realize that they are images that they are worshipping. Do they even understand that anything they put before God is a image. Do they really understand what it means to bow down to something? When they read a passage of the Bible such as the ones you stated do they understand what they have read? Do they really care? I think to know why someone does something is outside my understanding of any person. I do know that we should not do it., because it is sin and we should never sin to the best of are ability. I am not sure if that is any help but truly hope it is

you first have to understand that reciting a rosary is not playing with beads but an act of devotion (sadly most Christians today does not know what devotions to the Holy sacrament (aka Jesus), intersessions toward the Saints (not praying to them but asking them to pray for you) or any thing remotely near these act are) and as for bowing it is more and act of acknowledgement or reverence then a worshipping act.
It is sad that you accuse and judge what you don't understand instead of properly asking questions so that you may understand. Since your able to question the countenance in other people Bibles does your contain Matt 7,1 or 2Samuel 20, 18. Ask the right people and you will get your answer.

This is what Catholics do, bowing down to pictures and statues instead of to God. They don't read true Bibles and only Bibles specially made for Catholics. They bow down to Mary and worship her like an idol or something.

In the Bible's book of Deuteronomy it says that if a man marries a woman and then decides that he hates her, he can claim she wasn't a virgin when they married. At that point her father must prove she was a virgin. (How is not explained.) If he can't, then the woman is to be stoned to death at her father's doorstep. (22:13-21)
God also said to do this? Do you think we should?

It's truly sad that many people are following denominations with man-made add-on requirements to Christianity. Hopefully they'll come to realize all that extra junk is not needed. Christianity is about a relationship with your creator, not rituals.

People have been hoodwinked into believing fabbles and commandments of man rather than taking what God says. They do not know any better because if this was revealed to them then they would know that its contrary to God's word.
They take for doctrine the commandments of man thereby making the commandments of non-effect.

Both the Bible and Quran say it is a sin to pray to idols.

that is why catholics are considered not true religion and not true christians because of the teachings and doctrine to bow and worship wooden images and cemented images which they call it God.They are not following the laws of God stated on the bible but following the order of the Pope to bow to these images.

Apparently there's some wiggle room here.
2Ch 3:10 Then he made two sculptured cherubim in the room of the holy of holies and overlaid them with gold.
2Ch 3:11 The wingspan of the cherubim {was} twenty cubits; the wing of one, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house, and {its} other wing, of five cubits, touched the wing of the other cherub.
2Ch 3:12 The wing of the other cherub, of five cubits, touched the wall of the house; and {its} other wing of five cubits was attached to the wing of the first cherub.
2Ch 3:13 The wings of these cherubim extended twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet facing the {main} room.
2Ch 3:14 He made the veil of violet, purple, crimson and fine linen, and he worked cherubim on it.
